I got myself a Flamethrower with the Showstopper perk, it says “+10% elite enemy explodes on kill” but trying it out in the test room I fail to get any explosions from killing the mauler.
I also tried shooting the gunners and hordes but nothing happens, so is the perk broken?
Bump.
After testing for ten minutes or so and 20 deaths I never saw a single explosion with +15%
Can also confirm that I have also used this in actual missions with no explosions whatsoever.
Can confirm still broken after release
I did a little testing for 15 minutes or so in the grinder. I could only get the Reaper and Bulwark to explode maybe 3 times total, and only if actively firing at them. Deaths to the fire damage ticks didn’t seem to count. I couldn’t get the crusher (due to his crazy armour) or the mauler to explode.
The reaper and bulwark aren’t close enough to anyone else to see if the explosion does damage but they do pop with a couple fireballs that fly out of them and an explosion sound effect.
Pretty terrible blessing considering it’s only on a reaper or bulwark and they take so much time to kill with the flamer that there won’t be any enemies around them to be hurt by the explosion anyway. That and the fire damage DoT not triggering it.
I got back from devs and it seems like everything is working correctly from their end. They’re able to trigger it normally by killing elites, both through direct fire and through DoT, although they do mention that you need to have the Flamer equipped in your hands at the time of death.
Is this issue still occurring for you guys?
